drfie Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Seller states " It appears as though its had a couple of capacitors replaced? Not quite sure. " hmmm. I'd say those 3 electrolytics hanging out of the back are not OEM components. .....considering the original was a cardboard cap can ......and it was mounted on the other side. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kalamazoo-Model-One-Amp-Good-Condition-/310619924477?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item485263e7fd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drfie Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Wow, those are huge! some of those Sprague Atom look-a-likes are deceiving. Tiny cap inside a big blue can. The other thing to be aware is that there might be too much capacitance for the tube rectifier. That will kill the tube and may be bad for the transformer. I love Kalamazoo Models 1 and 2. I've built a 2 from scratch. I'm going to do another one with solid state rectification. dan Th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
